RE: Suggestion for moderators
Watch pictures of the Russian fighters which will do the "cobra" maneuver and do -literally flip flops including stuff where the craft moves backward- all with pilot -NOT computer inputs.
The F16 as well as many new designs are made to require very low control surface effort- (did I say that right?)
the "normal" setups" so often referred to here - would be abnormal on this type craft.
I wa truly amazed at earlier inputs on this thread which were adamant on fixed (fixated)CG setups for "correct and normal" airframes -----
